Hi.

Thanks for scanning me. I'm a 30 × 25 metre mural in Hasselt, painted with spray cans.

↓ Keep me talking

Ten seconds ago I was just paint on a warehouse.

Felipe says:

“The artwork is only complete once you scanned it.”

Today, that was you.

Let me show you what I'm made of.

The Hasselt QR mural, a truck at its base for scale

SIZE: 30 × 25 m · 750 m²
PAINT: 403 Montana Cans
TIME: 3 days · May 2017
HANDS: Felipe Pantone + David O.
FORMAT: QR code · hand-painted · functional
DESTINATION: this page — you're reading the payload

Every module was masked and sprayed by hand. I'm hand-made machine language.

You're standing in front of me. Or are you? Someone in São Paulo is looking at me right now, through a screen. I'm in Hasselt — but my soul is on the internet.

“When it comes to the artistic practice, it became more relevant to think about times than location.”
— Felipe Pantone, 2017
